One Pot is a modern, highly practical cookbook built around the idea that a single Dutch oven or casserole dish can handle almost every kind of meal. Written by Amandine Bernardi for Larousse and published by Phaidon in 2025, it brings together 100 globally inspired recipes that are designed to be low-fuss, flavour-forward, and easy to cook at home. The focus is on real food made simple: minimal equipment, streamlined steps, and results that work for both weeknights and relaxed entertaining. 

What the Book Offers

• 100 one-pot recipes: A wide range of mains and sides meant to be cooked start-to-finish in one vessel. 

• Global coverage: Dishes draw on international flavours rather than sticking to a single cuisine. 

• Everyday-to-occasion range: Recipes are suitable for quick dinners as well as more leisurely weekend cooking. 

• Designed for Dutch ovens/casseroles: The book is structured around the versatility of these pots for braising, roasting, baking, and simmering.

Recipe Style and Examples

The selection is intentionally varied, including:

• Wholesome vegetable and grain dishes such as ratatouille and lentil-based meals.

• Slow-cooked comfort classics like beef bourguignon and coq au vin.

• Warm, spiced stews and regional braises including Moroccan-style fish dishes. 

• Simple baked desserts for pot-to-table sweet finishes, such as honey-baked apples. 

Key Features

• True one-pot efficiency: Recipes are developed to reduce washing up and simplify timing without sacrificing depth of flavour.

• Approachable methods: Steps are written for home cooks, with clear sequencing and no specialist kit required beyond a sturdy pot. 

• Ingredient-led cooking: Emphasises familiar, accessible ingredients arranged in satisfying combinations.

• Giftable Phaidon production: Like other Phaidon titles, it is well designed and visually driven, making it suitable for gifting as well as daily use.
